With the recognition, OnColor™ NIR Sortable Colorants are preferred for high-density polyethylene (HDPE) resin in black and dark colors, according to the APR Design® Guide for Plastics Recyclability. OnColor NIR Sortable Colorants from Avient provide a solution to this problem, allowing the packaging to be visible to a NIR optical sorter, enabling it to sort into the correct plastic stream. Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.

Manufacturer improves durability, cost-effectiveness for plastic spinning tubes, bobbins Downtime, scheduled or not, is unwelcome – and it’s often due to a plastic part that costs less than a dollar. Istanbul-based IŞILSAN makes these plastic spinning tubes and bobbins, used on the world’s most advanced textile machinery to carry thread and spun yarn.

Typically, stiffer plastics are more brittle. This concept provides a competitive marketing advantage over products made from simpler plastics. In regard to plastics, the concept of design freedom incorporates several subtopics:

Over time, dust can create an unsightly layer on interior plastic trim parts. The negatively charged plastic then begins to attract positively charged dust particles. Material suppliers now offer several types of compounded antistatic, dust-repelling plastics for this reason.
